I am currently the Alfred J. Verrecchia Endowed Assistant Professor in the College of Business at URI. Before this role, I was an assistant professor in the Department of Information Systems and Analytics at Bryant University. I earned my MSc and PhD in Statistics from the University of British Columbia under the guidance of Prof. Alexandre Bouchard-Côté.
I have held postdoctoral positions at UMass Amherst, Northeastern University, and Harvard Medical School, with a focus on data science, machine learning, business analytics, and healthcare informatics. My research interests include Bayesian Statistics, machine learning methodologies, deep learning, and healthcare analytics. I am passionate about teaching and excel in undergraduate and graduate courses on machine learning, data visualization, and statistics. During my time at Bryant University, I coordinated undergraduate healthcare analytics programs and chaired the Analytics Without Borders Conference in 2024. In my free time, I enjoy playing with my four-year-old daughter and exploring new destinations through travel.
